Everyone is up-in-arms about the so-called “Russian Hacking”. “The Russians were behind the leaking of the emails!!” “The Russians hacked into the Democrats emails!!” “The Russians tried to steer the election!!” Pundits and opinion journalists, many on the left and right, are taking up the mantle of attacking “Outside Influences” who were trying to “shape the American Election”. And Every Last One Of Them, Public And Private Speakers Both, Have Got It Wrong!!!

Why am I the only voice out here saying “I DON’T CARE WHO HACKED THE EMAILS!!” If the Russians wanted to hack something, as well as the Chinese, I’m damn sure their actors are probably intent on our infrastructure, our industry, our finance, and those politicians currently in office who are corruptible and easily blackmailed. Trying to do anything with our election would be akin to trying to stop the flow of the Mississippi River with a seine net: Ya gonna have to wait a few million years to see any effect.

You see, the real issue, the issue everyone and their brother are blithely ignoring is: IF HILLARY HADN’T HAD HER EMAILS ON A PRIVATE SERVER, BUT ON THE GOVERNMENT, STATE DEPARTMENT, EMAIL SERVER, SHE WOULD NEVER, I MEAN, NEVER , HAD HER EMAILS HACKED!!! IF THE DNC WASN’T COLLABORATING WITH HILLARY, THEY WOULDN’T HAVE THE EMAILS THAT WERE RELEASED!!!.

The truth is, Hillary Clinton used an ILLEGAL server to keep her emails private from scrutiny by the government that she WORKED FOR. These emails are rightfully the province of the US Government, and should have been placed on government servers and archived properly for the official government records. Yes, Hillary could have had a private email ACCOUNT, which is radically different than a SERVER. An account is hosted elsewhere, with access by the government through necessary warrants. Private emails have been used by other Secretaries of State, but NONE, absolutely NONE, have used a private SERVER. That is placing vital government security information OUTSIDE the security of government protection, and available for hacking, which is what happened.

Hillary Clinton knowingly, and with malice aforethought, decided to use a private server, knowing, herself, that this was a violation of several US laws, codes, and regulations. Hillary signed a document acknowledging this. And yet she decided to do this, even when she was reprimanding her own staff for using private emails themselves. A case of “Do as I say, not as I do”. Hillary Clinton and her team should not be amazed that they then are hacked by outside forces, regardless of who it is. The DNC are clamoring that the Russians hacked their servers. The problem is, the DNC are using this as an excuse to had the fact they collaborated to deny the nomination to any other candidate but Hillary.

This is the age-old case of trying to shoot the messenger for the message. You cannot, just cannot, blame the hackers for the problems with the emails. Hillary Clinton decided to place herself above the law, assuming that she was invincible. The DNC played fast and loose with the Democrat nomination process and the run-up to the election. These are incontrovertible facts. Just because they came from hacked emails does not make them less so. If Hillary wanted to have her emails protected, she should have NOT used a private server, but used a State Department email account, as others before her have done. The DNC should have played fair with all of the candidates for the Democrat nomination, not structure the nomination to support only Hillary.

These are the facts. No one who’s emails have been placed on public display have had the temerity to claim that the emails were, in fact, not theirs. Not one denial has come forth. The truth is, no one should give a damn about WHO hacked the emails. That is a Smoke and Mirrors ploy, used to distract from the real truth. The real truth is that Hillary Clinton used an illegal server to circumvent the government rules and laws concerning archiving of government correspondence. The real truth is that the DNC used illegal acts to circumvent nominating anyone but Hillary Clinton. Personnel associated with the DNC and the Democrat Party flagrantly violated the trust, as well, in some cases, as the law, in paving Hillary’s ascent to the nomination. THESE are the things that should have people riled up, as Americans. We are supposed to have a fair and equitable system of governance, as well as the means of fairly selecting who we want to govern. Hillary Clinton, as well as the democrat elites, strived to circumvent those rules we have in place. This is what makes me mad.

I don’t care who hacked the emails. Truthfully, if they weren’t there in the first place, there wouldn’t be a problem. So the people we should be mad at, the ones that should be brought to justice, are not the hackers, but those who would attempt to subvert our system of democracy for their own personal power. The hackers just showed us who they are, and what they were trying to do, nothing more…

“WE MUST ALL HANG TOGETHER, OR, MOST ASSUREDLY, WE SHALL ALL HANG SEPARATE…”

Today, the folly and fallacy of the current president’s policies are now coming to fruition in Iraq. ISIS is banging on the door to Baghdad, and Kobani, the last strategic town in Syria, despite the numerous bombings by air frames, is nearly half overrun. And then, after all the posturing and posing, HRH Barack Obama claims that it was never his idea to pull out of Iraq. Another policy failure has come home to roost: Today, an American was determined to have caught the Ebola virus, infected here in the country, not in Africa.

We have terrorists cutting people’s heads off, not just in Iraq and Syria, but in the USA, in middle America. We also have others murdering Americans in the name of Islam and jihad, and the government that is supposed to be protecting us, ignores these happenings. The Ft. Hood terrorist, excuse me, murderer, still demands to be known for his jihad against the American infidels. The Oklahoma maniac has a Facebook page that depicts how he feels, extolling ISIS, yet the federal government refuses to call him an Islamic terrorists. With the impending collapse of Baghdad, and the possible takeover of the Baghdad International Airport, will we be seeing a repeat of Vietnam? Will we see helicopters ferrying personnel from the rooftops of the US Embassy to safe havens in the Kurdish North? Now is the time for our president to stand up and use the forces that he has to do what he should have done in 2011: Put US combat troops on the ground, a division of army as well as a brigade or two of marines, to stem the flow of ISIS, reverse their successes, and drive them out and destroy the organization.

We also need to send a brigade or two of US combat troops with support to the Ukraine, to show our resolute support for the current democratically elected government. This will help to stem the expansionist dreams of Vladimir Putin, which, incidentally, would probably cause an implosion in Moscow. This would also show our allies around the world that, although we tend to turn the other cheek, we only do that so often before we put boot to rear to help our friends.

We also need to beef up our presence in the South China Sea, and provide a warning to the Chinese military by firing warning shots at their jets that tend to want to come close to our ships and planes. By doing so, we show that we will not be intimidated, nor will we let our allies be intimidated, by China’s attempt at expansionism.
We need to firm up our southern borders, and we need to immediately deport anyone that comes over the border. We shouldn’t be moving people to other detention centers. If the countries where these people are coming from are having issues with gangs and drugs, then we should offer our assistance to help them build up their federal and local law enforcement, including providing military assistance. If these countries don’t want this help, then we should insure that all of their people are returned, and curtail any aid we are providing.

All of these things should be implemented by having our president stand up and be the man America is supposed to be. He needs to take decisive actions in Iraq, Syria, the Ukraine, with the Chinese, and on the borders. I am really afraid, as he has done with Iraq, he’ll bow his head and take no actions.

“We Should All Stand Together, Or Most Assuredly, We Shall All Hang Separate…”

The president announced that he was going to congress to get $500 million to buy equipment and train Syrian moderates fighting Assad. obama announces over the weekend that he will request $2 billion for the “poor children coming across the border, a great humanitarian crisis”. In none of these announcements did the president say anything about fixing these problems. The president is big on identifying problems to put up as an issue or crisis, but not so big on actually fixing anything.

Let us start with the money to aid the moderates in Syria fighting Assad. In 2012, the president said that “there is a line that must not be crossed”, and Assad immediately crossed it. Both the president and then-secretary of state hillary clinton, as reported by NBC News on 20 Aug 2012, stated that the red line must not be crossed, or there would be enormous consequences. Apparently, those consequences were to have obama and hillary talk even more about consequences. The only thing obama did was that he authorized $50 million for the rebels, to be used on “non-lethal support”, which worked out to be for communications equipment, some vehicles for transport, and what ever else that could be considered “non-lethal”, whatever that is. With repeated denials of support for the rebels, there was only one way this was going, and it went that way. The radicals and ISIL terrorists started taking more and more control of the rebellion. It was only a matter of time before this leaked over to another, fairly unstable country, Iraq.

Now, let’s talk about the “humanitarian crisis” on the US southern border. Anyone who didn’t see this coming spent most of their time in a real dream world. The DREAM (or rather NIGHTMARE) Act was supposed to be used for those who were bought here illegally by their family, who were pursuing a better life, and give them a pathway to eventual citizenship or at least a green card. While I sympathize with those who were bought here with no option to stay behind, this Act was not the way to go. However, for all of those children that are now flowing over the border thinking they will be eligible for the dream act, the proper response is to deport them back, chartering a ship or two and loading them on board, as fast as possible. As a matter of fact, we should be doing this to illegal aliens, anyway. Any other country does not tolerate, will not contenance, such an act as allowing illegals to come across. Check what happens if you try to slip across the border in China, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, India, Iran, Kuwait, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Brazil, Portugal, Chile, hell, even Mexico. All of these countries, and more, will throw you in prison, regardless of your age, submit you to hard labor, then deport you, after fining you. There are no such things as allowing illegal aliens access to driver’s licenses, housing, you name it.

The president wants to waste 2.5 billion dollars of your tax dollars supporting something that doesn’t do anything for oour country strategically. The money spent doesn’t support our country tactically. The money will go to Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO), who will waste multitudes of the money on administrators, on helpers, on counselors, and the money going to the Syrian moderates will wind up paying for new weapons and atrocities by ISIL/ISIS. This president thinks this makes him appear as a resolute, determined person. The reality is, this makes him look like an uninformed, ignorant, community organizer. Although this president has a Harvard education, somehow, he never shows it.

This administration should be removed as soon as possible. By stepping back from the world stage, and allowing Russia, China, and Iran to gain a foothold, this president has effectively crushed our country’s image world-wide. No other country seems to have any respect for the US. Currently, Russia has delivered five, count them, five fighter jets to allow the Iraqi military forces to attack the insurgents. The state department has been putting all sorts of red tape and buearacracy in the way of US companies and US military equipment providers to support the Iraqi people. Yet, at the same time, Iran, Russia, and China just ask, What do you want? I know the president doesn’t wonder why we have no influence. It’s because he never wanted the US to have any influence. His assertion that Maliki wouldn’t provide the SOFA terms the president needed to keep troops in place, turns out to be quite a lie, considering that it took the president about two days to reach the same agreement to send 300 military trainers into Baghdad. To allow the flow of children across the border, calling it a humanitarian crisis, is also quite a lie, as people have been flooding across the border more and more over the last two or three ears since the dream act became known in countries south of the US. This is a travesty, made more revolting by nancy pelosi’s crocodile tears over the “humanitarian crisis”.

The people of the US of A need to stand up and demand an accounting from their representatives and senators. John Boehner’s suit against the president is not enough. There should be articles of impeachment drawn up. Harry Truman famously had a sign on his desk that said “The Buck Stops Here”. Everything that is done by the administration, and the cabinet, is the responsibility of the president of the United States. Spiro Agnew knew about responsibility, this is why he resigned. Richard Nixon knew about responsibility, that’s why he resigned. George W Bush knew about responsibility, he bore it with grace and humbleness we have not seen since. This president does not believe in responsibility. This president believes he is the anointed of God. This president is just another man, who has man’s fallability. The president is generally held to a higher standard than the regular politician. As such, this president has failed us in the US, reducing the standard of living, wrecking the US economy, and withdrawing our country’s support and leadership from the international stage. We must take this person out of the office. We have the legal and judicial means. The Supreme Court has again struck down as illegal acts of the president. If the congress cannot act on these issues, it is time to remove the congress, and put in place a new one. Elections are coming up soon. Let’s push now!!!

“We Must All Stand Together, Or Assuredly, We Shall All Swing Separate…”

Under the current administration, the US looks as though it’s having a serious loss of confidence in its ability to help out our allies, and for those we promised to help. Ukraine, barack obama said we would stand by staunchly. This lasted up to the point where Russian separatists fought and caused the “election” to secede from the Ukraine. Then there is the famous “Line In The Sand” speech that obama made. Then there’s Iraq. On three separate occasions, the administration’s highest officials, namely obama, biden, and kerry, all said the same thing over the last three years: We don’t need to keep an eye on Iraq, Iraq is stable and can take care of themselves. This, after numerous requests from the Iraqi and Kurdish governments for the US government and US military to return to Iraq to help stabilize the country, work to firm up their military, and act as bulwark against the terrorists while Iraq is rebuilding.

Now, Syria is a cesspool, whether its Assad’s chemical warfare, or the Islamists terrorists attacks. The Ukraine is constantly boiling, even though the new president is vowing crackdowns at the same time as Russia is sending arms across the border flagrantly in defiance of the new Ukraine government. And Iraq is about to splinter, not, as joe biden says, into three sections, but into multiple segments fighting each other as vehemently as they are the Islamists. And the instability of the region will filter across borders into Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and, funnily enough, Iran. Lebanon, as I said in a previous post, is sitting on a powder keg, just awaiting the spark necessary to blow it wide open. The militias that used to support Syria, can no longer expect that support, and when people get desparate, there’s no telling how bad it can get. The main issue facing the administration, though, is Iraq.

We had the chance, the opportunity, and the responsibility, to help steer Iraq into a secular, democratic state. We had the chance to work with the Iraqi military, to instill a sense of pride and self into their military. Instead, the administration turned their backs on Iraq, refused every request for assistance from the Iraqi government, and basically turned their backs on our allies. We left thousands to be murdered, because obama didn’t want to engage in discussions with the maliki government. Maybe if obama had done his job and spoke with the Iraqi government, instead of attending fund-raising events and golfing with tiger woods, notvto mention the flights to hawaii to relax and recuperate, we may have had permanent installations in Iraq, a permanent garrison able to bolster the Iraqi defense forces, and we would have been in a better position in regards to Syria and the ISIS/ISIL.

Of course, we should have known better. When obama made the “historic” speech about the line in the sand, if Assad used chemical weapons, many thought the man had grown a pair or more. However, even with proof from the UN, obama did his famous turn about, and mentioned something about sending weapons or money, maybe. This, of course, after he unilaterally, and illegally, launched air strikes against Libya.

We are now at the crossroads. No one is taking us seriously. China builds facilities in disputed areas in the South China Sea, ignoring our protests, as well as the Asian countries in the regions. Russia openly arms rebels in the Ukraine, and whereever else they can foment issues, trying to reclaim Russia’s former “glory”. Iran is given relief from the sanctions that had been imposed, because Itan “might” stop pursuing nuclear weapons. Pakistan openly gives sanctuary to Taliban, as the Taliban rebuilds to re-invade Afghanistan. And that’s the international stage. Let’s not forget about all the illegal border-crossers, not immigrants, illegal aliens, flooding across our porous borders.

On the domestic front, the failure of obamacare is so incredible, its past ridiculous. The discussion about affordable health care, was supposed to be focused on the providers of medicine and health care. Instead, obama, in his infinite lack of wisdom, decided to penalize, not the health care industry, but the consumers. Then, the Supreme Court compounded the ignorance by saying the law is legal, because it’s a tax that can be levied, IF YOU DON’T HAVE INSURANCE!!!! That’s like saying you can be taxed because you don’t own a car, a house, etc. And the fact that no one fights this is as ridiculous as obamacare. The IRS scandal is just so incredible, it’s disgusting. To have an agency of the federal government focus on, and impede, legal organizations during a presidential campaign, and no one goes to jail, words fail me. Fast and Furious, giving confiscated arms to gangsters and criminals across the border, leading to the death of a federal office, should have, and under a Republican president, would have, led to the arrest of the Attorney General and everyone involved. The Dream Act, another illegal act, allowing young illegal aliens to come to the US, and jump the queue for citizenship, is something else that words fail me with. Now, the VA has been caught skimming the cream. And yet again, just like the Justice Department and the IRS, no one is going to jail.

Under this administration, our friends have been kicked in the teeth, or left lying in front of the bus, or simply ignored. Our enemies are given carte blanche to do whatever they wish, whenever they wish. Honest citizens are held hostage by inane and illegals laws, while illegal aliens and criminals are protected. When did the US go this way? When did we start to decide that turning our backs on friends, ignoring the country’s legal citizens in favor of its illegal aliens is the correct thing to do? When did we decide that its better to have our citizens living on the welfare line is better than having our citizens work hard to make a better life? When did we begin our downward spiral? And who will stop it? hillary clinton? I don’t think so. joe biden? Not on your life. al gore? Not someone who decided to sell an American television network to a group with the avowed aim of denigrating the US, instead of to an American group.

The US needs strong leadership. The US needs to regain its position as the world’s foremost superpower. We cannot give up our leadership. We cannot abdicate our responsibility to the world. To do so, leaves us vulnerable to attack from every side. To do so, leaves our country in a very weak position, susceptible to invasion, either economic or actual, from our enemies, and none of our former allies willing or able to help us.
